New Kingman-Butler's building exposure, zone by zone
78.6% of New Kingman-Butler's 7,179 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 21.1% Direct and 0.3% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone. At 7,179 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
